: Actually the particle board only really has to hold staples and
: it'll do that just fine.

On my first boat I used staples when building the deck and I had issues with them not holding well in the particle board deck forms. I was using the longest I could find, but maybe the weren't long enough. On my wife's boat I only used a few staples and mostly used the U clip method which worked quite well. On this boat being my first full stripper I'll probably use staples again, but I'll search harder for the longest that'll fit a T-50.
